The IBA hall turned into a space of ideas, questions, and sparks of inspiration! 🔥

Mr. Mohammad Azmal Huda urged students to dream big but execute bigger — and that’s exactly what tomorrow’s leaders set out to do. The students of IBA-DU rediscovered that real impact begins when you build, not when you wait.

Get ready for an insightful session as Marico Bangladesh comes to IBA for a special Career Talk featuring two of its top leaders —
Ms. Farzana Ferdous, Director, Marketing
Mr. K M Sabbir Ahmed, Director, Human Resources

They will be joined by a distinguished group of IBA alumni who are currently thriving at Marico, bringing with them stories of growth, transformation, and leadership from within the FMCG industry.
